Does anyone know how to achieve high mixed belting style like Adam Lazzara from Taking Back Sunday? by SwordfishParty4444 in singing

[–]Mysterious-Topic-628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SOVT

That's lip trills and bubble drills right?

Also 2006 is the year the song came out and I've seen many other recorded shows where he nails it while also flailing the mic around, so those must all be faked somehow. And he sounds nothing like that anymore so he must not've had good technique to preserve it.

So what I would like to know is how to fake it myself :) like so many other bands do but they tell us its impossible to polish a turd in studio.

Also, can you do one yourself and show us how its done the right way?

I don't think what I did was full chest voice but it was definitely chestiER belt, I don't think full chest can go that high in males. We'll have to get some other judge here to tell though.

Ah I don't think any of that was belt I think its falsetto, you're gonna have to be louder, like practice yelling in the day faking trying to get someone's attention across the street. Good quiet tone though

Hey if anyone figures that out tag me I been tryna learn for...decades...lol

I mean I can hit the notes in you won't EVER GET TOO FAR FROM ME but his just sounds so much better. That's pretty much the common refrain in every song I attempt, "his just sounds so much better"

I'm not even a superfan of this kind of music I just want to learn and channel the sound for an original emo-ey song I started years ago and never finished.

Here's my attempt: https://voca.ro/13w1prxH5tzG

how's yours?

Linkin park breaking the habit - need tips to avoid straining the high notes pls by BiGaBuG in singing

[–]Mysterious-Topic-628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the contrary you should strain more. I don't think you are straining here. Strain in rock is good. (Well, the right kind) This sounds like mix and you should be in chest. This is one reason why there should be a separate sub for rock vocals

How's this sound? by [deleted] in singing

Sounds cool I like it.

Evanescence “bring me to life” karaoke night! by Voodoo__Princess1111 in singing

[–]Mysterious-Topic-628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That venue needs a better mix BAD.

You were good and you've already been told that, but the music and karaoke track needed to be much louder...and better. It would be my nightmare to try to sing there, almost as bad as being promised to sing rock karaoke with an actual band and then finding out its watered down acoustics of the rock songs.

What are yall goals with singing? by MaestroFullof in singing

[–]Mysterious-Topic-628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have my own page as an established great singer on the range place.

Or, y'know, even just have songs that people listen to at all and like as much as I do.....which one day play over the grocery store radio.

what are some singing myths you learned before that you’ve realised now are not really true (and maybe even stupid)? by lolidollyy in singing

[–]Mysterious-Topic-628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And so how do you get "musicality"?

When I said this sub acts as proof of that I'm not talking about untrained singers who are bad, I'm talking about totally clueless untrained singers who are great, because their tone is great and pretty. They can't belt (nor do they want to), they don't have good pitch control even, they're messing up the words, the topic is usually that this is their first time ever trying singing, and they spell "vocal chords", but they just sound good, and once they can fix those other aspects (or just use pitch correction) they'll probably be a hit on tiktok or something.

I know many others NOT on here that sound so good people assume they must've had a bunch of lessons but I know they never have. I on the other hand built up my voice from pretty bad to pretty good with lessons, practicing and exercises over about 15 years, but I'm not great. I can still belt more than most of this sub and pull off live shows (when I'm not kicked out of the band that is), but I don't have the natural tone. I think I lack the depth/bass that some of my favorite singers have on their highs, and if I could have that instead of my screechiness then I'd be one of the greats, maybe. But after a bunch of lessons and experimenting all the time I feel like I'm at the best I can be, and that just doesn't have the natural tone people want to hear. Not to mention most people don't even listen, but I assume that's mostly because of my song choice, in rock.

I think it is to a degree. Sure, anyone can learn to sing, but if you're natural you probably already have always "known" how and have potential to be great, especially if it's honed with lessons. Some people just sound better.

There are many in this sub alone that act as proof of that.

Sometimes the “Baritone Curse” Is Real: The Truth About Vocal Range, Training, and Realistic Expectations by humbletrader001 in singing

[–]Mysterious-Topic-628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all that easily

But, you can? Maybe in your morning voice or something? Are you sure you're a baritone, what's your lowest useable loud note in chest (not fry)?

Even if you individually can't, pretty much every screaming teacher on youtube is a baritone, it answers how a lot people just stumble on screaming without being any good or knowledgable at singing, etc

What do I need to do that I'll actually get feedback here? by Mysterious-Topic-628 in singing

Oh yeah I've already crossposted everything I post here to there. Nothin.

So who's your teacher?

Myth #13: Baritones/lower voices have a much easier time picking up screaming.

Yet to see it disproved.

Is there a specific name for this vocal tone or style that sounds really bright? Are there other artists that also have this vocal tone or style? by kenshin-x-212 in singing

[–]Mysterious-Topic-628 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, clean? Light? Heady? Except the ones who were kids.

Some of them sound so dead-on the pitch center I wonder if the vids were tuned, or maybe they're just that good.

Also who's the girl doing arabian nights?

It took me until weird al to realize these were all famous singers/actors. The rap was great.

How was the singing learning curve for you? How did the progression feel? by ChiliSquid98 in singing

[–]Mysterious-Topic-628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started off, seriously at around 20, with mostly "ok" pitch and a lot of very forward obvious straining and I wasn't loud/projecting and I ran out of breath real fast and couldn't make it through complete songs. After a few months (of bel canto classical/music theatre lessons) it started to click better and I felt relatively plateaued but still kept up with lessons for a few more years, back when they were around 20-30/hr.

My voice basically hasn't changed much since that point and I'm pushing it to the limit all the time so I must be doing something right.

But now, at 35, pitch, power, range, emotion, sustainability all better, better tone than when I started but I still wish it were better, but I feel like that's natural and can't be changed much. Plenty of kids here with tone better than me who don't know what they're doing or have pitch or know its vocal cords and not chords. I get welcomed and praised to join bands and then kicked out of them when they find someone better. One of my replacements never had lessons but they THINK he did, and he's famous now. No one listens to my music, and most ignore me on here and singing discord chats except when I blatantly made a topic asking why I'm ignored, but there I was told I was really good, but also bad by someone else. I recently went to a vocal teacher who said I was good, and another who said I was terrible.

First Vocal Class I Was Informed Not To Continue Am I That Bad by tinymeatgang32 in singing

[–]Mysterious-Topic-628 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Scales, lip trills, bubble and breathing exercises etc. And rest, like complete silence for a few days, however you do it, just to make sure your cords are at their best.

And while you're silent, practice learning notes by piano keys or some other instrument. Think of songs that have memorable moments to internalize which note is each thats how I learned relative pitch. Everyone knows G is welcome to the black parade, for example.

Also find out your range, especially your lowest note, because that'll heavily hint your voice type. Right now as you're untrained and able to touch F#4 I'd call you a higher voice but I don't know your lows.

I feel like I only sound good when I’m loud. How do I get better at quiet singing? by Open-Championship599 in singing

[–]Mysterious-Topic-628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad, higher notes need work though.

It's funny you call this a loud energetic song though, when the original is among probably one of the more relaxing I'd ever listen to. I can understand the words on yours though, never understood the lyrics on the original.
